The request was denied. He repeated the request as late as last month.Milosevic underwent frequent medical examinations by doctors and specialists appointed by the tribunal andby Serb doctors brought at his own request. Detailed reports were routinely submitted to the judges.Tomanovic said he saw the jailed Serb leader on Friday at 4:30 p.m. His body was found the next morning, and by 11 a.m. the letter was delivered to the Russian Embassy.
